I’ll Come to You is a beautifully written glimpse into the lives of one family over the course of 1995. The story follows Ellen, a woman struggling after divorce, her son Paul and daughter-in-law Corinne, who are dealing with fertility issues, Corinne’s parents as they grapple with aging and dementia, and Corinne’s brother, Rob, who recently lost custody of his sons. Kauffman’s characters are so richly developed and complex, you feel like you know some version of them in your own life. Their stories all come together to create a chaotic, sad, joyful, and darkly funny family drama that perfectly captures the nuances of humanity.
